Josh Gordon shines in preseason debut for Browns
The Browns announced Gilbert would not play in the second half against Tampa Bay after the concussion was confirmed. In the first two preseason games against the Jaguars and the Eagles, the Bucs offense did not score until the third possession. He was suspended all of last season for violating the NFL’s policy on substance abuse, and won’t be eligible for the first four games of this regular season. Jonathan Krause led in receiving with 50 yards in two receptions while Austin Seferian-Jenkins had 36 yards in three catches.
During the first half alone, Gordon caught two passes for 87 yards. Browns fans are anxious to see Coleman take the field after he was sidelined with a hamstring injury for the last two weeks. Winston’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Evans therefore may not have made a huge difference to the outcome, but it was perhaps the most impressive piece of work during a great night for the passing attack. RG3 was constantly under pressure, taking a few big hits and getting sacked five times. He was targeted, once on a deep throw, but did not have a reception.
Already without starting left guard J.R. Sweezy (back), the Bucs will go without starting right guard Ali Marpet (ankle), as well as Kevin Pamphile, who will filling in at left guard for the first five games of the season; no reason was given for his absence.
“I had to focus, lock in and do what I used to do at Florida State”, Aguayo said. “I’m very happy to help the team”. This is just Mike Evans magic, absolutely dominating cornerback Jamar Taylor. However, the rookie has experienced difficulty in his first two preseason games and recent practices.
